10 weeks ago??
Mar. 17th, 2009 01:23 amWow, according to my profile my last entry was 10 weeks ago...does time every fly! So, a quick run down of what has gone on in that time...
* E got Honor Roll two more times, that means he has gotten it all 4 grading periods this year!
* He also was named Largo Chamber of Commerce Student of the Month for his school
* And was recognized at SPC for "Academic Achievement"
* Ended his soccer season 10-2 and won all 3 games in the first round of the playoffs. Lost in the finals, but barely.
* Is about to have his 12th birthday (at Coronation) - YIKES!
In other, non E-related news here is what I have been doing personally (because I do have a life besides being a mom)
* Applied for Graduate School at USF (Major - American History to 1877)
* Applied for the James Madison Fellowship to pay for it all
* Took the GRE - unofficial scores are 610 for the Quantitative and 610 for the Analytical.
Wish the scores were a little higher, but according to the website for the MA in History programs, they only require 500 in each. There is also a writing portion, but I have to wait 2 weeks to find out that score. Basically, if I don't get in now, I will go back and retake it. Whether I get in or not I can not afford it unless I get the grant, so wish me luck!
I also started Weight Watchers again, but I think I am going to quit for now. My mind is just not in it. Too many other stressors going on - most especially financial ones. This year I got a pretty significant pay cut (thanks economy!) and it is really starting to catch up with us. Right now I feel like I am throwing $40 down a hole each month, something we can not afford to do. It's not like I can't return to it later, I just don't think it is the right time.
Well, it is WAY late and I should be in bed right now....
